By the way, my beef with Hunter’s economics has nothing to do with protecting our economy from predatory trade practices. Of course we should do that. Nobody disagrees about that.
What I don’t like is his insistence on government control over disposition of private assets. That is socialism, pure and simple.

This is news to me. Could you tell me a bit more about this?
Ok, I assume you are referring to his position on the sale of NASDAQ? I haven’t really thought through that issue all that much but my guess would be that Hunter would view it through the same lense as the Dubai Ports deal or existing laws which allow the government to place restrictions on what types of technology and production defense contractors can move to overseas manufacturing plants.
